Ohio Investment Fraud: The Most Popular Scams of 2011

The Ohio Department of Commerce has recently released their 2011 list of popular
Ohio investment scams, and warns investors to be on the lookout. As the years of this poor economy
stretch on, many fraudsters are seeing a profit from preying on those
seeking financial stability for the future by "promising"
high returns with little risk.

What should Ohio investors do? As always, be prepared to do a little research
before you agree to an investment opportunity. David Goodman, the Director
of the Ohio Department of Commerce, reminds investors that, "Con
artists prey on peoples' fears by exploiting today's headlines
with promises of ‘guaranteed' returns at no risk. Don't
be fearful. Be knowledgeable. There is no such thing as a no risk/high
return investment."
